    • RE: Motion Detector

      So this is what I’ve done and it solved it…

      I took your sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 and entered before I started the mirror and no more error so I started the mirror in dev and it was registering movement…Great!

      So I closed the mirror and restarted… same error, driver not loaded…

      so I did this in case of a power out,e tc…in a terminal window:

      sudo crontab -e

      Enter this on the last line:

      @reboot sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

      Saved and exited.
      Reboot
      Restart mirror in dev mode
      NO error and tracks movement
      close mirror and restart in dev
      NO error and tracks movement.

      PROBLEM SOLVED!! Thank you guys for being patient!! It’s working.

        ******** BE AWARE THAT THIS IS STILL BEING TESTED *********
      

      I wrote this module 2 years ago…this is a complete makeover and all new for 2019!!
      This version comes equipped with either touch or mouse abilities! [no MMM-voice capabilities yet]
      It has an ‘instruction’ button that will popup with the instructions and if you choose you can click on the picture and a video will popup for you to watch about that recipe!

      THIS IS A POSITIONAL MODULE…SEE README ON GITHUB!

      @SvenSommer said in stronger Raspberry Pi 3 Alternatives:

      @cowboysdude
      I just updated the summary post, could you please check, if there is everything correct?!

         Operating System Support:
      
          Windows 10*
          Windows 8.1*
          Windows 7
          64-bit supported only
      

      Under that I would also put Linux… I’m running Unbuntu on the machine currently which makes it much easier to run MM :)

      That should work for you :)
      Instead of News Source I put the author as the news source doesn’t change.

    • RE: screensaver will not turn off

      Just install xscreensaver and turn it off.

      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1503/how-to-disable-screensaver/4

      @sgtwtf

      My solution was to install xscreensaver and use the desktop control panel to disable the screensaver.

      sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
      sudo reboot
      On reboot open the desktop start menu (via the GUI, not the terminal) and I think it’s Preferences > Screensaver Settings. There’s an option to set (and disable) the screensaver. It worked for me. :)

    • Input...What do you think?

      I’m building my own Weather module but would like some input into what others think…
      It has current condition on the top and in the Forecast section it rotates through 10 days of upcoming weather…

    • RE: CSS-help

      @sean said in CSS-help:

      .your_target_className {
      padding-right:10px;
      }

      If all you need is that one entry you can put it in your custom.css file located in the css directory of magicmirror like this…

      .MMM-Whateveryourmodulenameis .your_target_className {

      padding-right:10px;

      OR add this to your module:

            getStyles: function() {
             return ["MMM-Whateveryourmodulenameis.css"];
             },
      

      Then create a css file named like the above and enter your info in that…

      Like I said if you only need that one entry I’d just shove into my custom.css file…

    • RE: MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module

      UPDATE V.2

      Changed the format to show 3 days of weather instead of rotating. Quicker, easier and loads twice as fast!

      Added 2 new config options:

      1. Show or hide wind
      2. Show or hide Date

      See the README on Github

      Thank you to @barnosch for the help and ideas!!

    • RE: The 32" Inch Mirror

      Here’s my latest round of testing :) In case you missed, I didn’t show it on the video but this is also a 32" touch screen as well :)

      It now controls my heat/AC. Shows the temp/humidity in 4 of my rooms. Can also show if my phone is home or not, didn’t see the point of that LOL. I am using HousePanel for that which can be found here: https://github.com/open-dash/HousePanel

      The guy has done a FANTASTIC job creating HousePanel for Samsung Smartthings Hub.

      Coming at some point… lights and door lock :)

    • RE: MMM-pages & MMM-pages-indicator - Lightweight module pages on your mirror!

      Added support to MMM-voice for MMM-pages.

      If you’re using MMM-voice you can say “next page” or “last page” and it will change the pages.
      BUT you will have to update your MMM-voice with my fork as the PR has not been approved yet. Just simply download it from me and copy it over your files in MMM-voice dir.
